Capcom reveals Resident Evil 5 80GB PS3 bundle

Capcom and Sony have revealed a new Resident Evil 5 80GB limited edition PlayStation 3 bundle for Japan.

Set to go on sale March 5, the bundle will retail for JPY 48.980 (USD 525) and includes a copy of the game, two DualShock controllers, and a limited edition Resident Evil 5 80GB PS3, featuring the logo for the game’s fictional pharmaceutical company, Tricell. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series, Resident Evil is known as Biohazard in Japan, and thus the packaging art reflects this.

 

A tempting offer, although we personally feel that the inclusion of the Biohazard 5 soundtrack would be the icing on the cake, especially as the Xbox 360 limited edition version of the game includes it as a standard item.

    At least throw in something nice like a kool RE5 design on the PS3 not just the symbol and the title "Biohazard".

    Would much rather have an Umbrella branded PS3 than Tricell.

    Interesting thing is that the console itself has more of a matte finish like the controllers, instead of the regular shiny finish.
